We build everything in our own shop in Los Angeles. We left the aging showroom model to create and offer a higher quality product, selling direct to consumer without inflated pricing for overheads, the cost is all in the quality. Whether it's one of our designs or some other inspiration you have seen elsewhere, we'll build it while saving you time and money then ship it to you within a few weeks. With LA Custom, you really are buying direct. 

                                  

THE DECENNI COLLECTION

The Decenni collection by Steve Portaro is inspired from “Decades “of American Mid-Century marvels, Italian visionaries and the Artisan skill of Custom Furniture making. With Decenni you get the Made in Italy look feel and quality, without the Made in Italy wait and price.

THE Suburban Chateau Collection

Our Suburban Chateau line is achieved by pairing the familiar with the new. This means creating an inclusive product that is both contemporary and traditional that fits most taste levels, offers high quality, affordable pricing and will fit into any room of your home with ease. American design inspired blended with updated colors, fine details and classic finishing touches.

All of our work is done in our shops, never sent out. We invested in two separate shops at one location, building all our client’s pieces from the ground up, keeping our woodshop and upholstery shops separate is the key to the utmost care in construction.

Dream. Inspiration Perhaps you’re drawn to a beautiful fabric or a page from a magazine. Share your inspiration and we’ll show you how to turn it into a stylish reality.

Design. Consultation Tell us about your project. We’ll listen to your vision and help you coordinate styles, colors and textures to put it together, all via phone, email or in our shop.

Done. Installation We’ll manage every phase. We’ll oversee fabrication, quality control and set up white glove shipping right in your home if you desire.

Testimonials

  • Hello Steve, I just wanted to drop a quick note and thank you so much for our beautiful couch! I'm completely in love! I know it was a tough project and kept everyone on their toes, but know that Ryan and I are extremely greatful. I'm excited to continue doing business with Decenni!

  • Moving to a new house with a three week old baby, two kids and endless construction was challenging. Trying to figure out how to get all the pieces in place with no sleep, and a new business was nearly impossible. Enter Decenni's Steve Portaro.  Steve created beautifully crafted sofas and chairs that worked with our esthetic (and budget). He updated my danish modern concepts into comfortable pieces that work perfectly in our home, quickly. And now, almost two years later, he has helped us create a gorgeous dining room and bring color into our living room with fabulous rugs and carefully designed chairs. He is creative, patient, and simply gets what we need. He and Decenni are a rare find. Take advantage.

  • Steve had made living room furniture for us a few years ago and we are very familiar with the quality of his workmanship and customer service. So when it was time for us to get new bed room furniture, my wife did not even think of shopping anywhere else but Decenni's. Steve worked with us every step of the way, drawing sketches to specified dimensions, making alterations to the designs as needed and mailing leather swatches so we could select the desired shade and texture. As expected, the end products are of contemporary design and superb quality. Steve also arranged for white glove delivery of the furniture from California to Texas at very reasonable price. We just love the bed with tan leather upholstery, the maple chest of drawers and the vanity with a matching leather seat, and most of all the orange leather lounge! Thank you Steve, you are the best!

  • Steve made a beautiful sofa and chaise lounge for us, he gave us a large choice of high quality leather and legs to chose from. We had been looking for a while for a modern sofa like they make in Europe but everything we found and liked was in the 15 to 20K range. Steve made it for us for a fraction of the price. We did everything over the phone and email and the sofa was exactly what we were looking for.  Thank you Steve we will be back.

  • I searched high and low for a sofa set I originally bought from west elm, for my loft in Atlanta. I had to sell that set before relocating back to Los Angeles. By then of course west elm no longer sold this sofa set named (the Baxter) and would not give me the name of the manufacture. I was determined to get this particular set back, and I almost settled for something like it. Until I found Decenni furniture. I sent Steve a photograph, with some loose dimensions. Six weeks later I had exactly what I wanted. To be perfectly honest at a better price and quality. I'm already planning the next piece.

    Thank you Decenni and LA Custom.

  • We just received a couch from Decenni, and it is a masterpiece.  We could not be more happy.  The folks at Decenni worked carefully with us to tailor their existing design to best fit our needs.  The workmanship is superb. The quality is excellent.  The attention to detail could not be more fantastic.  Best of all, the couch, like all their furniture, is handmade in Los Angeles, and we love buying USA.  As an aside, we sent friends to the showroom, and they too ordered a couch, and needed it in a hurry. The folks at Decenni turned it around in a few weeks with the same amazing quality.

  • I worked with Decenni on a sofa for our condo post-renovation. Steve was answering the questions himself. It was tougher for us because we're in NYC and he's in LA. I wish I could've visited the showroom, but they did the best they could. He mailed to us samples, and gave me a sense of measurements. It took a little longer to get the sofa made and delivered than I wanted, but I'm happy with the result. I've gotten plenty of complements on it since it arrived.
